    Why do men think they don't need to wash clothes, wash body, use deodorant? If you want to be out in public, be clean!

    How about you don't shave, but also stay home on days you don't have to go to work, then you can save may £15 a year....

    I think she means that shaved or not is irrelevant, you will still need to use deoderant unless you are planning on staying in on those days when it is not 'essential'!

    I shower at least one a day. Twice a day when I go to the gym.

    I work from home about three days a week so don't use deodorant then. That said the days I work from home are the days I go to the gym.

    Have we gone off topic? :)

    yes you will sweat just as much, and after 6-8 hours, the whiff will be there.
    i have a perculiarity where my right armpit sweats about 3x more than my left, my left wont smell bad for a day or two, my right....3-5 hours with or without hair.

    and it was men doing the ridicule, in fact i havent done it for years....im off to do it now!

    ps, i use anti-persperant or deodorant every single day, and i go through maybe 5 bottles lynx a year, so thats a tenner. not exactly moneysaving, cut down on the hookers to really save dosh.

    Strange. Men need body hair. It's sexy. Woman not so. The opposite. My underarms are waxed, but i still need to use deoderant. I still sweat.
